A Tom Cruise lookalike in the Pakistan Airforce is capturing women's hearts.
The highflying pilot, who looks like he's rolled straight out of Top Gun, has rolled back the years for thousands of Twitter users.
A tweet showing the soldier is channeling Tom Cruise's character Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell from the high 1986 adrenaline flight movie.
The lookalike has been identified as Squadron Leader Yasir Mudasser, a JF-17 pilot of Pakistan Air Force.
He was snapped while informing the Pakistani Ambassador to Italy Tehmina Janjua during the Paris Air Show on Sunday, and his picture thrilled social media users.
Some people even thought the shot was a still of Tom Cruise.
Mr Mudasser has flown more than 600 flights in the JF-17, which is the first jet that Pakistan has built.
He told the Tribune: "It's superb. It's a treat to fly this aircraft. It’s so beautiful and user-friendly."
Who looks more like Tom Cruise?

The Pakistani Version Of Tom Cruise Has Been Around All Along And OMG THEY'RE LIKE TWINS
We have seen quite a few celebrity lookalikes spring up over the past few months. Whether there were people coming across other regular people who look like famous people. Quite a mouthful, wasn’t that.

Apparently, there is someone in Pakistan who looks so much like Tom Cruise, and we have been missing it all along
Like he has been right under our noses
While there have been other lookalikes that people have pointed out, in the past
Like Paolo Anchisi who could very well play Tom Cruise’s past or kid in some film
And also apparently Akshay Kumar :O we know, right? You see it now, don’t you?
But…b-b-but LOOK AT AJAB GULL
He just looks SO much like Tom Cruise and why haven’t we seen this before?
Even when he’s angry he’s been giving off some major major Tom Cruise vibes
Just look at that, like, it’s uncanny, like wait, we’ll add Tom Cruise’s picture to this picture of Ajab Gull’s
LOOK AT THAT OMG
Look at the tough looks that he’s giving
And some romantic ones, too, wouldn’t you want to Jerry this McGuire?
You had us at hello, too, Ajab
If Tom Cruise was just a liiiittle bit older
Here it just looks like Tom Cruise and Junaid Jamshed had a baby
Is it Tom Cruise? Is it Ajab Gull? Guess we’ll never know
We leave you with this picture. You’re welcome
So what do you think? Does he look like Tom Cruise? Does he not? Let us know in the comments below and let’s Cruise this Tom. Okay byeee ~

Recently a tweet went viral identifying a JF-17 pilot of Pakistan Air Force, Squadron Leader Yasir Mudasser as a lookalike of the most sought-after actors in the Hollywood’s screen history – Tom Cruise.
The picture tweet shows a JF-17 pilot, identified as Squadron Leader Yasir, wearing aviators, briefing Pakistani Ambassador to Italy Tehmina Janjua about the aircraft during the Paris Air Show.
Have a look at the picture below and give your eyes a reason to believe!

With the black specs on and easygoing poise, anyone could mistakenly believe that picture was of their Hollywood’s heart-throb straight out from the movie Top Gun.
“It’s funny. One never imagines that you’ll get this kind of attention when you’re training day-in-day-out,” the pilot told AFP. No wonders our pilot was taken aback from this not so expected treatment during one of his routine practices.
The news is all over social media and the huge fan followers of Tom Cruise can’t wait to see more glimpses of their dreamboat’s lookalike.

A picture of a Tom Cruise lookalike who is in the Pakistan Air Force has gone viral, after people supposedly noticed the similarities between the man and the iconic actor.
There’s just one teeny, tiny problem though: he looks nothing like Tom Cruise.
The online community started to go nuts over a JF-17 pilot earlier this week after the man, who was later identified as Squadron leader Yasir Mudasser, was pictured briefing the ambassador of Pakistan to Italy, Ms. Tehmina Janjua, at the Paris Air Show.

As soon as the image was uploaded, various users started to comment on the fact that Mudasser looked exactly like Tom Cruise’s character from Top Gun, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, which helped to turn the American actor into the icon he is today.

The remarks recognising just how much Yasir Mudasser looked like Tom Cruise soon extended beyond the original post too.

Meanwhile, during a conversation with the AFP, via Dunya News, Mudasser admitted that he was humbled by the attention. “It’s funny,” he remarked. “One never imagine that you’ll get this kind of attention when you’re training day-in, day-out.”
Unfortunately, to me at least, I can’t really see the resemblance between Mudasser and the Magnolia, Edge Of Tomorrow, and Mission Impossible actor. Other than the fact that both of them have a preference for wearing aviator sunglasses.
